first post.. introduction

quick introduction.. this is my first post.. I am brand new to this hobby... am learning a lot before i take the plung and buy some gear..

am looking to put in a pc in my ES lancer (2003 i think)

have been told by a friend of my wife's (who has done this and showed me his set up) that i should stay away from indash lcds... he says thats just his opinion... which is a shame becuase i really have no where else to put a screen in that small car...
